PIERRE, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) New spring weight restrictions are in effect along South Dakota’s roadways this week. They’re put in place by the state Department of Transportation and local agencies. Updated restrictions will be in place March 10th through 14th to protect roads as thawing and melting snow saturate softened ground, causing roadbeds to be more susceptible to damage. A map of the restrictions is on the South Dakota Truck Info website at SD-Truck-Info-dot-sd-dot-gov.
Spring Weight Restrictions, Week 2
New spring weight restrictions are now in effect across South Dakota’s roadways, from March 10th to 14th, as part of efforts to protect infrastructure. The South Dakota Department of Transportation and local agencies have implemented these restrictions to prevent damage caused by thawing and melting snow, which softens roadbeds and makes them more vulnerable to wear. A map of the updated restrictions is available on the South Dakota Truck Info website at SD-Truck-Info.sd.gov.
